What is CDPAP-Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program?

"CDPAP" is a viable alternative to conventional home care services that promotes consumer independence. The program enables self-directed consumers and/or advocates to recruit, interview, hire, train, schedule, supervise and dismiss Personal Assistant(s) of their choice. Self- directed consumers and/or advocates assess needs, determine how and by whom these needs should be met, and monitor the quality of services received. Individuals independently make all decisions and manage services directly.

What are the benefits of CDPAP?

The program enables independence and consumer empowerment by gaining more control over their personal care needs. A consumer can:

Independently or with the assistance of an advocate, recruit, interview, train, schedule, supervise and dismiss the Personal Assistant(s) or their choice.
Hire as many Personal Assistants, as they may be deemed necessary to satisfy the consumer’s needs, and as authorized by Marton Care Inc. and with the Managed Long Term Care Organization.
